IN YOUR CLOSET, IN YOUR HEAD

HOLIER THAN THOU

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

NO MORE!
THE CRAP ROLLS OUT YOUR MOUTH AGAIN
HAVENT CHANGED, YOUR BRAIN IS STILL GELATIN
LITTLE WHISPERS CIRCLE AROUND YOUR HEAD
WHY DONT YOU WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WHO ARE YOU? WHERE YA BEEN? WHERE YA FROM?
GOSSIP BURNING ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE
YOU LIE SO MUCH YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF
JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED YOURSELF

THE UNFORGIVEN
(HETFIELD, ULRICH, HAMMETT)

NEW BLOOD JOINS THIS EARTH

AND QUICKLY HES SUBDUED
THROUGH CONSTANT PAINED DISGRACE
THE YOUNG BOY LEARNS THEIR RULES
WITH TIME, THE CHILD DRAWS IN
THIS WHIPPING BOY DONE WRONG
DEPRIVED OF ALL HIS THOUGHTS
THE YOUNG MAN STRUGGLES ON AND ON, HES
KNOWN
A VOW UNTO HIS OWN
THAT NEVER FROM THIS DAY
HIS WILL THEYLL TAKE AWAY
WHAT IVE FELT
WHAT IVE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT IVE SHOWN
NEVER BE
NEVER SEE
WONT SEE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WHAT IVE FELT
WHAT IVE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT IVE SHOWN
NEVER FREE
NEVER ME
SO I DUB THEE UNFORGIVEN

HOLIER THAN THOU

YOU ARE
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE

THEY DEDICATE THEIR LIVES

TO RUNNING ALL OF HIS
HE TRIES TO PLEASE THEM ALL
THIS BITTER MAN HE IS

YOU KNOW NOT

THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE THE SAME

HES BATTLED CONSTANTLY
THIS FIGHT HE CANNOT WIN
A TIRED MAN THEY SEE NO LONGER CARES
THE OLD MAN THEN PREPARES
TO DIE REGRETFULLY
THAT OLD MAN HERE IS ME

BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME, TAKE A LOOK AT YOU

CANT YOU FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO?
POINT THE FINGER, SLOW TO UNDERSTAND
ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE GO HAND IN HAND
ITS NOT WHO YOU ARE, ITS WHO YOU KNOW
OTHERS LIVES ARE THE BASIS OF YOUR OWN
BURN YOUR BRIDGES AND BUILD THEM BACK WITH
WEALTH
JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED YOURSELF
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
HOLIER THAN THOU
YOU ARE
YOU KNOW NOT

WHAT IVE FELT

WHAT IVE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT IVE SHOWN
NEVER BE
NEVER SEE
WONT SEE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WHAT IVE FELT
WHAT IVE KNOWN
NEVER SHINED THROUGH IN WHAT IVE SHOWN
NEVER FREE
NEVER ME
SO I DUB THEE UNFORGIVEN
YOU LABELED ME
ILL LABEL YOU
SO I DUB THEE UNFORGIVEN

WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

DONT TREAD ON ME

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

AND THE ROAD BECOMES MY BRIDE

I HAVE STRIPPED OF ALL BUT PRIDE
SO IN HER I DO CONFIDE
AND SHE KEEPS ME SATISFIED
GIVES ME ALL I NEED

LIBERTY OR DEATH, WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL

ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER, RATTLING OF HER TAIL
NEVER BEGINS IT, NEVER, BUT ONCE ENGAGED
NEVER SURRENDERS, SHOWING THE FANGS OF RAGE

AND WITH DUST IN THROAT I CRAVE

ONLY KNOWLEDGE WILL I SAVE
TO THE GAME YOU STAY A SLAVE
ROVER
WANDERER
NOMAD
VAGABOND
CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL
BUT ILL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND ANYWHERE
AND ILL REDEFINE ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
AND THE EARTH BECOMES MY THRONE
I ADAPT TO THE UNKNOWN
UNDER WANDERING STARS IVE GROWN
BY MYSELF BUT NOT ALONE
I ASK NO ONE
...AND MY TIES ARE SEVERED CLEAN
THE LESS I HAVE, THE MORE I GAIN
OFF THE BEATEN PATH I REIGN
ROVER
WANDERER
NOMAD
VAGABOND
CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL
BUT ILL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
IM FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND ANYWHERE
AND ILL NEVER MIND ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
BUT ILL TAKE MY TIME ANYWHERE
IM FREE TO SPEAK MY MIND
AND ILL TAKE MY FIND ANYWHERE
ANYWHERE I ROAM
WHERE I LAY MY HEAD IS HOME
CARVED UPON MY STONE
MY BODY LIE, BUT STILL I ROAM
WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

DONT TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
SO BE IT
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN FOR THE WORDS THAT
YOU WILL HEAR EVERMORE
DONT TREAD ON ME
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, SHE WITH THE DEADLY BITE
QUICK IS THE BLUE TONGUE, FORKED AS THE LIGHTING STRIKE
SHINING WITH BRIGHTNESS, ALWAYS ON SURVEILLANCE
THE EYES, THEY NEVER CLOSE, EMBLEM OF VIGILANCE
DONT TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
SO BE IT
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN FOR THE WORDS THAT
YOU WILL HEAR EVERMORE
DONT TREAD ON ME
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
LIBERTY OR DEATH, WHAT WE SO PROUDLY HAIL
ONCE YOU PROVOKE HER, RATTLING OF HER TAIL
SO BE IT
THREATEN NO MORE
TO SECURE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR
SO BE IT
SETTLE THE SCORE
TOUCH ME AGAIN FOR THE WORDS THAT
YOU WILL HEAR EVERMORE
DONT TREAD ON ME

THROUGH THE NEVER

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

(HETFIELD, ULRICH, HAMMETT)

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

ALL THAT IS, WAS AND WILL BE

UNIVERSE MUCH TOO BIG TO SEE

SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR

COULDNT BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

TIME AND SPACE NEVER ENDING

DISTURBING THOUGHTS, QUESTIONS PENDING
LIMITATIONS OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING
TOO QUICK TO CRITICIZE
OBLIGATION TO SURVIVE
WE HUNGER TO BE ALIVE
ALL THAT IS, EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER
IN THE DARK, SEE PAST OUR EYES
PURSUIT OF TRUTH NO MATTER WHERE IT LIES
GAZING UP TO THE BREEZE OF THE HEAVENS
ON A QUEST, MEANING, REASON
CAME TO BE, HOW IT BEGUN
ALL ALONE IN THE FAMILY OF THE SUN
CURIOSITY TEASING EVERYONE
ON OUR HOME, THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN
ALL THAT IS, EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
WE MUST GO
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
OUT TO THE
EDGE OF FOREVER
WE MUST GO
ON THROUGH THE NEVER
THEN NEVER COMES
ALL THAT IS, EVER
EVER WAS
WILL BE EVER
TWISTING
TURNING
WHO WE ARE
ASK FOREVER
TWISTING
TURNING
THROUGH THE NEVER

NEVER OPENED MYSELF THIS WAY

LIFE IS OURS, WE LIVE IT OUR WAY
ALL THESE WORDS I DONT JUST SAY
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
TRUST I SEEK AND I FIND IN YOU
EVERY DAY FOR US SOMETHING NEW
OPEN MIND FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
BUT I KNOW
SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR
COULDNT BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
BUT I KNOW
NEVER OPENED MYSELF THIS WAY
LIFE IS OURS, WE LIVE IT OUR WAY
ALL THESE WORDS I DONT JUST SAY
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
TRUST I SEEK AND I FIND IN YOU
EVERY DAY FOR US SOMETHING NEW
OPEN MIND FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY SAY
NEVER CARED FOR GAMES THEY PLAY
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DO
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
AND I KNOW
SO CLOSE NO MATTER HOW FAR
COULDNT BE MUCH MORE FROM THE HEART
FOREVER TRUSTING WHO WE ARE
NO, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

NEVER

THE GOD THAT FAILED

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

PRIDE YOU TOOK

PRIDE YOU FEEL
PRIDE THAT YOU FELT WHEN YOUD KNEEL

DECEIT
DECEIVE
DECIDE JUST WHAT YOU BELIEVE
I SEE FAITH IN YOUR EYES
NEVER YOU HEAR THE DISCOURAGING LIES
I HEAR FAITH IN YOUR CRIES

FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED

MY FRIEND OF MISERY
(HETFIELD, ULRICH, NEWSTED)

YOU JUST STOOD THERE SCREAMING

FEARING NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO YOU
THEY SAY THE EMPTY CAN RATTLES THE MOST
THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN VOICE MUST SOOTHE YOU
HEARING ONLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
AND KNOWING ONLY WHAT YOUVE HEARD
YOU
YOURE SMOTHERED IN TRAGEDY
AND YOURE OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD
MISERY
YOU INSIST THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
MISERY
THERES MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
MY FRIEND OF MISERY
YOU STILL STOOD THERE SCREAMING
NO ONE CARING ABOUT THESE WORDS YOU TELL
MY FRIEND, BEFORE YOUR VOICE IS GONE
ONE MANS FUN IS ANOTHERS HELL
THESE TIMES ARE SENT TO TRY MENS SOULS
BUT SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH ALL YOU SEE
YOU
YOULL TAKE IT ON ALL YOURSELF
REMEMBER, MISERY LOVES COMPANY
MISERY
YOU INSIST THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS
MISERY
THERES MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT YOU SEE
MY FRIEND OF MISERY

HOME IS NOT A HOME, IT BECOMES A HELL

TURNING IT INTO YOUR PRISON CELL
ADVANTAGES ARE TAKEN, NOT HANDED OUT
WHILE YOU STRUGGLE INSIDE YOUR HELL
REACHING OUT
GRABBING FOR SOMETHING YOUVE GOT TO FEEL
CLOSING IN
THE PRESSURE UPON YOU IS SO UNREAL
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN

IT SUITS YOU FINE

YOUR RUIN
YOU SEAL YOUR OWN COFFIN
THE STRUGGLING WITHIN

REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING YOUVE GOT TO FEEL

WHILE CLUTCHING TO WHAT YOU HAD THOUGHT WAS
REAL
WHAT THE HELL?
WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOURE GONNA FIND?
HYPOCRITE
BOREDOM SETS INTO THE BORING MIND
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN

IT SUITS YOU FINE

YOUR RUIN
YOU SEAL YOUR OWN COFFIN
THE STRUGGLING WITHIN

YOU JUST STOOD THERE SCREAMING

MY FRIEND OF MISERY

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN

(HETFIELD, ULRICH)

REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING YOUVE GOT TO FEEL

WHILE CLUTCHING TO WHAT YOU HAD THOUGHT WAS
REAL
KICKING AT A DEAD HORSE PLEASES YOU
NO WAY OF SHOWING YOUR GRATITUDE
SO MANY THINGS YOU DONT WANT TO DO
WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?
WHAT THE HELL?
WHAT IS IT YOU THINK YOURE GONNA FIND?
HYPOCRITE
BOREDOM SETS INTO THE BORING MIND
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN
STRUGGLE WITHIN

IT SUITS YOU FINE

YOUR RUIN
